Nigel Farage superfan gets TATTOO of UKIP leader's FACE

A NIGEL Farage superfan has proved her everlasting love - by getting a huge tattoo of his face.

Kerri Webb endured three and a half hours of pain to get the UKIP leader's face tattooed on her arm

Kerri Webb, who says Ukip has changed her life, spent three and a half hours in the chair to get the UKIP leader's face branded on her bicep.

The former engineer, of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, spent weeks agonising over the best image of Mr Farage as she credits him with inspiring her to turn her life around after experiencing severe bouts of anxiety.

The 38-year-old, said: "Through Ukip I've come to a turning point in my life. I often got very intimidated and had problems speaking up, especially in front of more than one person.

"I wasn't good at defending or sticking up for myself. I was bullied and I've had problems with anxiety since is was 12 and I didn't get the help I needed.

"I've seen Nigel get really rough treatment from the media and the public - it's not been nearly as bad for the other parties in the past like it has for him, it's unwarranted and he's often misinterpreted."

This candidness proved to be a life-changing moment for Ms Webb and prompted her to start speaking in public after joining the Chesterfield Ukip branch, where she says members have been supportive.

Ms Webb revealed her Nigel Farage tattoo is not her first piece of body art of someone who has inspired her.

She also has a tattoo of Robert Smith, frontman of 70s gothic rock band The Cure, which she got when she was young as he was her "inspiration when I was living in the shadows".

She added: "There's a lot of hatred about in the UK and I think it's about fear - a lot of people are frightened of change happening."

Even with just one MP, she feels Nigel Farage and UKIP have changed the face of UK politics.

She said: "I know it sounds mad, but I believe that Nigel's just made a massive change.

"He's got personality and character which is lacking in politics as well as a sense of humour. I've got a sense of humour, it doesn't make you a bad person, but some people are just making a career out of being offended.

"Why shouldn't colourful characters like him take on pivotal roles, why should everything be so serious all the time?"
